A member asked:
My bf comes home every 6months. everytime, i get a yeast infection after a week of sex. i've been checked & im clean. how can i stop this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Frequent sex: When intercourse occurs episodically(q6months) but "feverishly", the vaginal ph(acidity/alkalinity) changes and the good bacteria(doderlein's) that are responsible for keeping the pH slighly acid(4.5 to 5.5) cannot recover fast enough since semen is alkaline in nature. Yeast like warm moist alkaline conditions, so keep the vulvar area dry and wear cotton underclothing post-sex.
